Devi: Do We Succumb To Others' Opinion?

"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." — Bill Cosby.

One of the greatest mental freedom is doing what makes you happy, no matter what the others think. The society is not very keen to change, and it often criticizes the ones who beg to differ. Hence, many individuals give up on what makes them happy — just to fit in. This results in a completely new personality. Everyone craves to be 'normal'.

Why should one want to be like everybody, when he/she is meant to be unique? Why should one wear a mask of happiness, when deep inside one knows that he/she is depressed? The opposite of normal is not abnormal, but unique — and different is good. This is your life do not let others influence you. Do not be conscious about what others think about you. You only have two lives — the second one starts when you discover who you really are and act accordingly. Believe me; the second life is much better than the first one.

Yes we always succumb to others opinion because if we are doing right thing but it is boring so everybody ignore him or her then we try to be like others who do wrong thing to look attractive and cool

Yes,we succumb to others opinion because everyone seeks feedback. Everyone wants answers.people crave other’s opinions. Ultimately, it comes down to us looking for approval. There are two types of decision-makers in the world. The first is an internal
decision maker, and the second is an external decision maker.Internal is the people who self-analyze every step, every option, every possible outcome and never talk it through with others.external people constantly seek the opinions of others.
